I imagine the book was properly vetted by the Publisher because there are strong libel laws in this country

No, not in the US. You must be thinking of Britain. If you are a public figure in the US, the libel law is extremely weak. It's not enough to show the information is harmful and false and was known to be false; you basically have to prove malicious intent, which is very difficult to prove. I'm sure one of the lawyers on thread could fill in the details.
